Joint Commission redesigning Accreditation and Certification reports

Editor's Note

The Joint Commission announced November 1 that it is redesigning its Accreditation and Certification reports to be more user-friendly. 

The redesigned reports will highlight the most relevant information about surveys and reviews, outcomes, and required follow-ups.

Additional changes include:

• removing unnecessary white space and repetitive text
• prioritizing and grouping findings by severity
• highlighting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services condition- and standard-level findings
• offering report sorting and filtering.

The new format will be used for all surveys conducted after January 1, 2018.
